PS CS5.5 leading question

Is there a reason why I cannot get the sentences in my paragraphs closer together? See the image, anyone?

works fine here.
If converted to points, it is 7.93 pt on my screen. I have also entered in the preferences my monitor's ppi to make Photoshop display physical sizes to be equal the size of a real life ruler.
I can even enter 0.5 pixels for font size and still no problem with adjusting the leading, Photoshop displays some representation of anti-aliased text lines which obviously are impossible to read.

Upgrade from CS2 to CS5 multi-questions

A few questions actually..
I very recently just bought an upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5. Everything went well but I don't understand a few, possibly trivial, things.
During the installation process, I in no way had to supply information about my CS2 licence to prove that I even have it. How do you guys make sure that someone who doesn't own a previous version of Photoshop isn't saying that they want an upgrade, thus avoiding the full price of the product?
Also, when you upgrade, does your old previous version license become deactivated? Are you suppossed to remove it from your computer or some other process?
Lastly, when I downloaded the upgrade, I downloaded both CS5 for 32 and 64 bit by default as they were both there. Do I need both on my computer and what's the difference between using/having the two?
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit to clarify.
Thanks in advance!

If you purchased and upgrade then it should ask for a qualifying serial number. It is also possible you purchased an upsell which means you were basically given a copy of the full version at a discounted price. The qualification process is done when you purchase the software.
You can continue to use your CS2 license. You can not however sell it as it is qualifying you to utilize CS5.
For questions about 64-bit I would recommend reviewing http://blogs.adobe.com/scottbyer/2006/12/64_bitswhen.html

PS CS5 Updates Question

Hello There. I'm sure this question has been asked before.... I am not able to get Updates in my PS CS5. It keeps showing error. U43M1D207. Anyone know how to fix this? TY!

The Adobe auto updater was utterly unreliable in versions prior to CS6, which is when the hapless updater team began to get its act together.
You're going to have to late, download and run the update manually yourself.
Product updates
You may have to apply all updates successively, i.e. first 12.0.1, then 12.0.2, 12.0.3 and 12.04. Not sure of that.

CS3 Leading Question

Hey everyone,
I'm new here, and have a quick question. Any help will be really appreciated.
I was given an exercise book by a publishing house to do some corrections in.
The book was designed by another designer they had a falling out with.
The other designer has used a leading effect i'm not familiar with. I'm posting a screenshot:
As you can see the leading for all the text is 13.5pt, but paragraph 1.13 and 1.14 have a bigger gap between them than the regular lines of text.
How is this achieved?
Many thanks in advance,
ej

It should be defined as part of the paragraph style, but since the designer didn't seem to know how to set a left indent on a paragraph and started things with tabs, it may not be. There's a section in the style definition dialog called Indents and Spacing where you would do it. It's also possible that instead of space before for the numbered paragraph, space AFTER was applied to the paragraphs with the arrow bullet. Fields for space before and after are accessible in both the Paragraph and Contol panels, so if you put the cursor in a paragaph you should be able to see what is applied (but not whether it is local formatting or part of the style). You'll need to do some looking.
I would also re-define the styles, myself, so there are proper left indents instead of leading tabs (and get rid of the leading tabs using find/change) and set a next style cycle for the three styles involved in that list, so that if you type in new entries they will automatically rotate through the three styles for each entry.

New in Premiere Pro CS5. Questions: markers, shortcuts, keyframes, and more!

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I'm an editor from Argentina, with background in Avid media Composer, but I'm switching to premiere pro cs5 for a new job. I was highly and happily surprised with it. But, there's still a couple of things I haven't quite got right, yet.
So, a couple of newbie questions... you'll save me a lot of time if you can answer some of them.
Markers
1a. Can I use markers with different colors?
1b. Is there a way to select more than one marker and delete them at the same time? Of course, with out deleting all of them, just the ones I need.
1c. How can I set up a shortcut for going to next\previous clip marker in the timeline? In shortcuts, I go to Marker>Go go Clip marker> and select a shortcut, but in the timeline it goes nowhere. I have made this work for sequence markers in the timeline, and this shortcut also work for going next\previous marker on a clip in the source monitor.
1d. How can I extend a marker in the timeline? I know I can set the duration of the marker in the pop up menu... but if there a way to do it directly in the timeline?
Razor Tool
2. A simple one. After I've used the razor tool on a clip... how can I join the clip again?
Track Select Tool
3. Can the Track Select Tool, select all the clips to the LEFT, instead of all the clips to the right? In avid there's a Select Right command, which works as the track selector, but there's also a Select Left command, which does the same, but to the left.
Audio Master Meters
4.Another simple one. Can I put this in a horizontal way? It'll fit perfectly in the tool bar then.
Tab sizes
5.Can the tab size be modified? I have "Media browser", "Info", "History", "Effects" all docked... but the size of the panel is such that I can never see the four tabs at once, I have to drag the little bar at the top. Can I have the tabs be smaller so that I can see the four of them... as if they said "Media.." "inf.." "hist".."eff"... instead of wasting space with long tab names?
Keyframes
6. Is there a shortcut to add one? Where is it in the shorcut configuration? I know I can put them with the Pen Tool, I need a shortcut to replace the "add/remove keyframe" button on the tracks in the timeline.
6b.How can I snap the current time indicator to a shortcut in the timeline?
6c. Can I lazo multiple keyframes?
Audio While Scrubbing
7. In Preferences>Audio>Play Audio While Scrubbing I can select that on and off. How can I set a shortcut for that?
Well... that was A LOT! Sorry for so many questions. Hopefully they can help other new users.

From the top:
1a. No; but you can set numbered markers, for both clips and the sequence.
1b. No; you can delete one or all.
1c. You have to select the clip in order to activate the command.
1d. You can only do this in the Marker dialog.
2. No direct way to do this. Delete either the portion before or after the edit, and then extend the clip to fill the gap. Clunky, yes.
3. No, the Track Select tool only operates to the right.
4. Audio meters are vertical only.
5. The tab size matches the title of the tab; no way to change this.
6a. No keyframe shortcut.
6b. It doesn't work in the Timeline panel, but in the Effects Controls panel, you can hold down Shift to snap the CTI as you drag.
6c. You can lasso multiple keyframes in the Effects Controls panel with the standard selection tool, or you can use the Pen tool in the Timeline panel. Just be sure to start within the graphical representation of the clip.
7. No, it's only a program preference.
Sorry that so many of them are negative! Be sure to file feature requests for anything that you'd like to see: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form

CS5 Indesign question

I have a question about CS 5 Indesign, When I go to print a document, I cannot get the option for a certain line screen when the color is on composite.
When I have it on separation , I am able to put it on any line screen. I called the support line and no one was able to help me. Please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. Thanks

An exact answer depends on the exact wording of your question.
"Are CS5 and CS6 files compatible with each other?" NO.
But a longer, and more accurate, answer is "They are, up to a certain point and with proper precautions."
1. You cannot open a 6 file in '5 or earlier. To be able to, save your file as IDML -- that *can* be opened by earlier versions, at least one or two. (Saving back to a CS3 compatible format, for example, takes more effort and a working CS4.)
2. When saving as IDML, the file ought to open exactly as it was with the original version. If there were any new features used in the file, they will be (silently!) ignored by older versions.
3. Due to code changes, there might be a change in text flow. Nothing you can do about it, text is always reformatted according to the internal rules of the version you open it with.
4. Older version files ought to open right away in a newer version. "Ought to", because the latger the difference in version, the larger chances *something* might fail. Apart from that, the text might also reflow, as per point 3.
So you see, the correct answer to "are they compatible. depends more on how much time you have to answer it.

Photoshop CS5 - Leading is suddenly massive, even when set to auto

Using Photoshop CS5 on HP laptop with Windows 7. I've never had an issue with this before, but today when I opened up PS, this happened:
No matter what I set the leading to, there's always this humongous gap when I hit enter. Shift + enter makes no difference. Changing the font size also makes no difference.
HELP!

Look in the Paragraph panel, and see if there's a non-zero value in Space Before or Space After.

Character return leading question

Hi there! Forgive me if this has been answered peviously but i can't seem to find a thread with the answer i was looking for. I won't go into the specifics, as i think the question should be enough!
Is there a way of stopping InDesign creating larger leading when i choose to press "enter" (or "return") at the end of a line rather than letting the text just automatically flow over onto the next line?! I have tried selecting the whole paragraph and setting the leading that way but that doesn't work. I have viewed the invisible characters and made sure all the leading is set the same...but if i press enter (return), it always puts a larger leading gap than if i was to just let the text continue.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ah ok, so it would seem my keeping the question simple tactic isn't working. To further explain in that case....
Here are the ins and outs of everything:
I had been given a document created in Quark which needed to be converted to InDesign. I did the conversion successfully . I am having to re-create all the tables correctly as in Quark it wasnt really tables, just a series of lines with tabbed text (i know, nightmare!).
The paragraph and character styles seem to have all copied over ok, and i can't see anything set up that would be creating the problem.
Here is the best way to describe the problem:
I have a cell in a table in which the text reads "Pallet Product Code". I need "pallet" to be on the top line, and "product code" to be (in the same cell) underneath it. The width of the cell means it automatically lays itself out as "palllet product" with "code" underneath. So i go to in front of the word "product" and i press enter. Doing so creates a larger leading gap between the two lines than when it was just left alone. So if i opt for just putting in a load of spaces to shove the word "product" over onto the next line it all looks fine, but if i press enter - doom! Well, not doom, just bigger leading...i guess i could just deal with it or reduce the leading lower again to make it look right...but i like to do things properly.
If i quadrouple click the leading is all set to the same value in the cell. I'm thinking this should be something really simply to sort out and i must be missing something silly....but here's hoping!
P.S I am using CS3, on Mac os x 10.5.8

Illustrator CS5 perspective questions

I recently upgraded to CS5 and was playing with the perspective tools and a couple of questions came up. Is it possible to change the perspective and have objects already created update to the new persp? Also, I noticed strokes don't follow the perspective, ie, getting thinner as they get farther away.

You have valid questions. I used this feature briefly, when I first switched to AICS5 and had similar questions. One thing you can try is; While using the Perspective Selection tool, hold down "5" and move objects perpendicular to perspective plane.
You might also want to experiment with using symbols on perspective planes. Blends will then appear in perspective and it's easier to edit the object by editing the flat symbol. To get lines to appear in perspective you may need to outline them. Maybe someone else has a better idea. It appears "mesh distortion" objects will not work on perspective planes.

InDesign CS6/CS5 compatibility question

I need to know if users in InDesign CS5 will be able to successfully work in an InDesign file I create and save back from CS6. I was told by someone at Adobe that these 2 versions were NOT compatible at all, even though I was told by another Adobe employee that you can save back 1 version with no issues. What is correct? And... if we ALL upgrade to CS6, will we be able to open up files we created in CS5 or earlier with no issues? The guy that said they were totally incompatible sent me this link:
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/buying-guide-version-comparison.html
So I need a definitive answer - can we, or can we not, exchange between CS5 and CS6??? Thank you.

An exact answer depends on the exact wording of your question.
"Are CS5 and CS6 files compatible with each other?" NO.

HD Sony Camcorder ACVHD file and Win CS5.5 question

I am thinking of upgrading to an HD Camcorder. I am looking at models from Sony, Canon and Panasonic. One of the models I am looking at is the Sony HDR CV700V. My questions: #1 Can Premiere Pro 5.5 handle Sony ACVHD files and specifically 1080P/60P files? I have heard that 1080P/60P is nonstandard ACVHD. Sony's website says that Sony AVCHD files cannot be imported into computers. I have searched everywhere and I cannot find the answer. There is no point in buying this camcorder if I cannot import ACVHD files into CS5.5. #2 If there are file limitations specific to Sony's 1080p ACVHD is there another camcorder that does not have this problem such as Canon Vixia HG G10 or Panasonic HDC-TM 900. #3 Of the 3 manufacturers, Sony, Canon and Panasonic, does anyone have a recommendation as to which HD Camcorder ACVHD files work best with Win CS5.5?

I use PPro on a Mac instead of Windows, but the computing platform is irrelevant for your question. I'm with Harm: Sony's statement is pure bunk. I have 2 Sony Handycams that cut to AVCHD, and all I do is remove the SD card from the camera, then pop it into a card reader on my Mac. Then I copy the entire filesystem over, and voila: I can edit it in PPro.
If the camera you're looking at doesn't cut to SD but instead to its own internal drive, then you'll need to connect the camera itself to the computer via USB. It should appear to your computer as a removable drive, allowing you to copy the files over.

Leading question - ID2

I'm a little rusty on ID and have a quick question. Is it possible to have different leading settings for paragraph breaks than line breaks? For example:
The leading between this line and the paragraph below is say 18pt
...and the leading for the lines in this paragraph
is different say 14pt
Basically I want to be able to have a gap between paragraph headings without the need for a whole extra line, and without having to go and edit the leading for each new heading. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Check the options for "Space Before" or "Space After" in the Paragraph Palette. May have to turn on 'More Options' in the palette menu to see them.
HTH
PS. did you mean ID2, or IDCS2 (ID4)? Answer is the same either way, but CS2 has the Control Palette, which also can be used to edit the Space Before/After.
That setting is also available in the Paragraph Styles, if you use them.

The download link for After Effects CS5 leads to a page with "access denied"

I need to download this application (i already have a license) to install on a new machine but the link for the Mac OSX file leads to this page:

Cookies and Java are/were enabled in both Chrome and Safari, same results. I should also add that I have already downloaded other old products (CS4 suite) with no issues.

Photoshop CS5 extended question

IS photoshop CS5 a program on its own... with 'extended' as a sort of.. add on to it?
so i mean like.. if you don't have CS5 standard, and you buy CS5-extended, will you be able to use it, or will u have to buy the standard version with it?
if not, then why is it that many sites are selling photoshop extended and such low prices.. around 1-400 pounds?

The Extended version has more features.
Please post follow ups in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for suite specific issues.

PS CS5 Display Question. Don't want to see desktop.

Just loaded CS5 onto my Mac and I am noticing that when I open CS5, I can still see my desktop and other applications that may be open. I have always used PS on Windows and when it was opened, it would just have a gray background. Is it possible to make this happen on a mac with CS5? Thanks.

NM. I figured it out. Should have looked at FAQ first.
